An Ultimate Free Heel Groover

Bedford native Heather Paul began alpine skiing at age two. By her junior year in college, and at the top of her racing career, she got tired of the scene and quit. She learned a different type a skiing the next year- telemark. It's like alpine, but the binding leaves the heel free and the turns are executed differently. Heather became a world champion in the sport by the mid-nineties. She now lives in Barrington and runs Ultimate Groove- a telemark ski clinic for women that travels to different ski areas. She talks about her life as an athlete, telemarking, and what?s ahead- including an ski expedition in northwest China.
